I have been wanting to make a DIY cloche for sometime. I stalked the thrift stores to find my pieces then whipped these up in just minutes. You really are not going to believe how easy and cheap this project is! Yep $5 got me two — yes two — cloches!
And how do you get two for $5? Why glue stuff together from the thrift store of course! These two pieces I think anyone could find at a thrift or dollar store….
Glue em up with any glue that is made for glass. I highly recommend E6000 however you are going to need to follow all of the instructions on the package. Yes that does include waiting 24 hours to move your piece after you glue it. I promise it will be worth it however! Once complete, you can just add a bird and a “nest” for a gorgeous piece for your home.
Now these two pieces — it was like fate. I saw the hurricane first and I swear y’all right next to it was the other piece. Fate — I love ya! You see, if you do enough stalking at the thrift store you are bound to find pieces that will be perfect for this project.
Again I just glued the together! Such an easy project and they have a big impact in any room. I added a torn strip of fabric around this one. Just stamp on some random fleur de lis and you are in business. I added in a few bottles and a bell to this one.
I am in DIY Cloche heaven y’all. And this just adds to my little display I started yesterday.

Love how you made these, they look fabulous!
So pretty! You did good, girl!
Love em! And you inspired me for my starfish tote! Well you and Martha Stewart of course! Do you know I actually still have the June 2009 issue with the beach patterns and stuff she did? I couldn’t believe it!

It is heavenly. I love them too. I love anything you can make from glass pieces. They always turn out beautiful.
Love ’em! it’s always that simple ideas that turn out to be the keepers!
these turned out great! AND!!! you’re right, you do find these things sitting inches apart sometimes. It never occurred to me to snap them up and glue them together.
Thanks for the tip! Great ideas…
I would never have thought of that. Amazing idea!
Super cute cloches, I love your vignettes and collections. I like to put fun things like toys, skulls, zombies, etc. under them for a wicked effect. Bwhahaha 🙂
ok, I am on the hunt!
What a great idea..I love it…
blessings,
